Borla exhaust...sound??
I am planning on getting a Borla for the wife's Z. I was wondering how they sound. I have a few friends with the LS1 and Borla's, and they sound absolutely savage, especially with no cat!
So how about the LT1, does anyone have a sound clip, or a opinion?? Thanks.

This is the reason I bought a Borla.

I'm going to paint you a mental image of what the borla catback sounds like based on sounds that you already recognize...
First, imagine that you are sitting at a table with a box of bb's and coffee can. Next, pour a decent amount of bb's into the coffee can. Now, put the lid on the coffee can and shake it vigorously.
That is what a Borla catback sounds like. In short, you can either get borla and get ripped off for a ****ty sounding catback OR you can be smart and get another catback which costs less than half the borla and sounds 10 times better. Your choice

I don't know about the BB's thing.. I had an slp 2otl and my borla sounds better.. also have the McCord power plate and can vary the sound level.. I get compliments on the setup all the time.. shorties, 3in cat, and the Borla.. I can't understand why people think these sound bad.. do they install them with bananas in the tail pipe or something? My setup doesn't have the intercooled tips.. perhaps that does something..
Go with the Borla, add the cutout.. IMO you won't be disappointed.

dont listen to this guy because he could not afford a real catback!
mine sounds mean. really lets people know your around. atleast 1 complement on it everyday i get. so if you want something that will last forever and lets people hear the power buy it . but if your cheap and dont care how long it lasts or sounds go with the dynomax like all the cheapies do

my guess is he wants something nice for his wifes car.. plus with the borla you can vary the sound.. I still want to hear a borla that sounds bad, as I haven't yet..
